Sleeping Beauty on the 5:21

Dear Sleeping Beauty,

You were fast asleep when the 5:21 from Newark Broad pulled into Penn Station, your copy of The Collected Poems of Wallace Stevens askew on your lap. About five us tried to wake you up. I think the last of us succeeded. I wonder if that was the intensest rendezvous of your day?

It took 5 of you to wake this person up? Didn't you worry at one point that he/she was dead?
